Unsteady three dimensional bioconvective flow of Maxwell nanofluid over an exponentially stretching sheet with variable thermal conductivity and chemical reaction

An unsteady three-dimensional bio-convective Maxwell nanofluid flow through an exponentially stretched sheet with the convective boundary condition is the focus of this study. In the presence of variable thermal conductivity, the characteristic of heat transfer is performed. By changing the similarity variable, the model flow problem becomes a nonlinear form of coupled ordinary differential equations. The numerical results are calculated using Matlab's bvp4c function. The effect of various factors on velocity, temperature, concentration, and microorganism distribution is represented graphically. The physical quantities are examined in detail using graphs and tabulated data. For increasing values of Deborah number, the Nusselt number shrinks, whereas the convective parameter shows the opposite effect. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
